Bit much for you grandad?All these charts, numbers/stats, heath maps, and whatever!!!
I actually liked Championship Manager for a while ................the 97/98 version!
Today, some people go lengths to prove a point.
His finishing is pretty bad from what I've seen, it's his biggest weakness. He's kind of the anti-Kulu.
Also, whenever I’ve seen Neto for Wolves, he’s benefitted from their style which is to sit deep but break quickly with a lot of runners. This means he often has space to run into and can often just run past players. He does look great for them.
At Spurs, he’ll play against a lot more low blocks so will have much less space and he’ll have to do his stuff in tighter spaces.
For Portugal he has struggled to get minutes and make an impact against teams that (I assume) play more defensively and give less space than he is accustomed to at Wolves.
Not saying he can’t adapt, but for the fee we’ll have to pay for him, we need to be sure he’ll still be a stand-out player against more defensive teams.
Yeah I got a ban from their transfer “in” thread as I mistakenly posted a link to an “out”.
Strange people.
Of course. It’s the one area where he’s repeatedly said we need to be better. Too much desire and ambition for us that though.
This club will never change under this ownership
Manager will always be hung out to dry in the end

And this makes total sense, really. How dare Bayern & PSG unsettle L & L's plans by untimely coming with bids when Spurs are not ready yet even though they've been linked to Doue for more than a season now.
For example, it's holiday season now so Spurs may be short of staff , and L & L also wanna save money by doing just 1 deal at a time, so both Bayern & PSG should play it fair and wait for the right time for Spurs also to muster a bid - even if it takes a few seasons...

I did say we haven’t moved on this yet ! Been focusing elsewhere as timing was key with another deal we are working on currently

Also the most expensive players so better off making do and buying a cheaper, but promising back up inverted left back that won’t play, but can be flipped
Gone by Nov. He will quit and walk

kinda looks like deles older brother
Him playing in tight spaces is exactly why we'd buy him because he fits the profile. He's absolutely elite 1v1 as well as being brilliant technically. Something we don't have and have needed for years. Even more so under Ange.
It's why we've been linked with Eze, Neto and Doue. Because of their ability to keep hold of the ball well, but also their ability to beat a man with ease, open the game up and move it forward.
He has struggled for minutes for Portugal the exact same reason the likes of Eze and Cole Palmer have struggled to game time for their countries. And it's got nothing to do with opposition set ups.
It doesn't even have to be Neto we sign, but it's promising that we're starting to look at players who fit. Wouldn't mind actually bidding and trying to bring those sort of players in
Yea very similar smile to Dele
The wingers in our system get an incredible amount of space because our full backs are tucked in so it's not so much breaking down low blocks for the wingers, it's more about their 1v1 skills as they are always often isolated 94th percentile for progressive take ons.
Neto is actually a good example of a player we should be targeting it's just that his injury history is so poor, it puts me off especially at that price.
Would be worth the risk if we could do it for £25m + another £25m add ons (appearances and trophies) but I doubt Wolves would accept
Ange is not the type to walk. He believes in his approach and himself. He’s a fighter. They will have to push him out
Bookmarked
Be interested in the comparison of their pressing and turnovers in opp half.
As disappointing as Kulu was last season, his greatest strength for me, essential in the Ange system is the press and turnover.
